Uninstalling. On Windows, if Setuptools was installed using an .exe or . msi installer, simply use the uninstall feature of “Add/Remove Programs” in the Control Panel.
To uninstall the package system-wide using pip, first uninstall it locally, then run the same uninstall command again, with root privileges. In addition to the predefined user install directory, pip install --target somedir somepackage will install the package into somedir.
It varies based on the options that you pass to install and the contents of the distutils configuration files on the system/in the package. I don't believe that any files are modified outside of directories specified in these ways.
Notably, distutils does not have an uninstall command at this time.
It's also noteworthy that deleting a package/egg can cause dependency issues – utilities like easy_install attempt to alleviate such problems.
